Sir, I want to surrender my exemption and I have sent the mail to ICAI but I didn't get any reply. Please tell me the procedure for the same.
It has also been decided to allow the candidates to give option for surrendering the valid exemption already secured, in toto, in a paper or papers on the basis of 60 per cent marks, on the conditions that (i) exemption surrendered once shall be effective for all times to come for all the chances (i.e. up to a maximum of three immediate next examinations or all remaining chance/s) and under no circumstances the candidates shall be allowed to claim the surrendered exemption in future; and (ii) on furnishing an affidavit to this effect and in the prescribed proforma (which can be obtained from the Institute on request) on a non-judicial stamp paper of the value as applicable in the respective State, candidates can exercise the option to surrender the exemption at any time during the currency of the validity of exemption but before the date prescribed for doing so i.e. 2nd September, 2013 in the case of November, 2013 examinations. A candidate who wants to surrender the valid exemption, in toto, secured in a paper or papers on the basis of 60 per cent marks in any of the immediate last three examinations (i.e May 2012, November 2012 and May 2013 ) is advised in his own interest to write separately to the Additional Secretary (Exams.) informing him of his decision to surrender the exemption, in toto, along with a photocopy of the relevant Statement of Marks to enable the office to send further details in this regard and the proforma of the affidavit to be executed by the candidate. Candidates should note carefully that the surrender of exemption shall become effective only after furnishing the requisite affidavit and on issue of confirmation letter to this effect by the Institute.
Candidates are advised in their own interest, to send the letter for surrender of exemption separately by REGISTERED POST / SPEED POST to the Additional Secretary (Exams.) so as to reach him on or before 2nd September, 2013 and the same should not be enclosed along with the examination form. The Institute shall not accept the responsibility for any such request not received upto 2nd September, 2013 or sent along with the examination form in the same envelope. Candidates are also advised not to write about their intention / decision to surrender the exemption in the examination form and no cognizance of such writing/noting/request in the examination form will be taken.
